Fodor's Review:

Veiled from the street by linen curtains, this tiny Manhattan offshoot of its Nantucket namesake does a fine impression of a shabby-chic Tuscan farmhouse. The fastidious decor includes big wooden communal tables, plush pillows, vintage posters of Italian food, and Murano glass chandeliers. The food, too, has an air of photo-styled perfection. A complimentary bowl of plump glistening olives comes artfully tossed with lemon and herbs. A too-quickly devoured basket of crusty bread arrives fresh from the oven sprinkled with sea salt. The oft-changing menu might include amaretto-cookie-topped feather-light gnocchi or parchment-steamed whole orata exposed at the table in a cloud of heady aromas. The baked-to-order torta del giorno—a seasonal buttery fruit tart—is a showstopping finale that feeds a crowd.
